What happens when a non-spiritual person takes DMT or LSD?

That's a really good question. In my experience, you know it's the drugs that are in control and it opens you up to the idea that our brains are capable of much more than we recognize in a non-induced state. I'm not religious or spiritual and hallucinogens didn't impact that at all.

I do think if you're looking for some type of spiritual encounter then you'll have it. It definitely lends itself to that. When trees start breathing it's a pretty easy jump to that. But if you go in to it as if you were just taking a ride, you'll be able to distinguish between reality and drug-induced reality.

Either way, you want to have your head on straight before you step off. It can be scary for some and that will build on itself. But if you're open to it, do it in a safe, stress-free place, it can be a very positive experience.

And personally, if you're interested and haven't done it, I'd suggest mushrooms first. I think that's the best introduction to hallucinogens.

I remained non spiritual but had a great time

I usually just listened to some banging acid techno music and smoked a shed load of weed, lolz.

Possibly a bad trip, to hazard a guess.

DMT helped me see that everything is connected and that everything is recycled energy, I saw visuals of mathematical patterns and fractals and seeing nature coming to life.

Depending upon the person's background, he or she might be more likely to understand that, by modifying the biochemical soup in which your brain sits, you are (obviously) quite likely able to affect its function.

We know alcohol--a poison trying to shut down the CNS--can alter perception. That's not the same as saying that those altered perceptions are correct.
